Culturally Sensitive Strategies for Initiating Insulin in T2DM Patients:
A Case Clinic Series


Insulin initiation need not be an insurmountable challenge for patients and clinicians. Earning a patient's respect and listening to their concerns can go a long way to establish trust that will engender greater adherence to a medication regimen.







MRSA SKIN AND SOFT TISSUE INFECTIONS: APPLYING IDSA TREATMENT GUIDELINES IN PRACTICE


Previously, methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections were nosocomial, mainly affecting patients made vulnerable by illness or advanced age. Since the mid-1990s, however, community-associated MRSA (CA-MRSA)—particularly skin and soft tissue structure infections (SSTIs)—have grown both increasingly common, even in otherwise healthy children and adults, and increasingly problematic. Because uncertainties about optimal management are pervasive, the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) recently issued clinical treatment guidelines for managing MRSA infections. This collection of CA-MRSA SSTI cases provides an overview of appropriate treatment in several common scenarios, with an introduction to principles outlined in the IDSA guidelines.



Stroke Prevention in Atrial Fibrillation: Strategies for Optimal Anticoagulation


In patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), the risk of stroke continues to be under-recognized and anticoagulation underused, with many missed opportunities for preventing strokes. Risk stratification tools help evaluate the risk for stroke and bleeding, and newer anticoagulants may increase prophylaxis and improve adherence. Strategies for optimal stroke prevention, risk stratification, and patient education can enhance outcomes in patients with AF at risk for stroke.




Optimizing PPI Therapy for GERD: Evidence-based Guidance for Improved Safety and Efficacy


Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have become the gold-standard for the treatment of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), as well as for the prevention of GERD-related complications. In recent years, these agents have been linked with serious adverse events and possible drug interactions. This CME/CE program will present 3 detailed patient scenarios to illustrate how PPIs can be used to their best effect in a variety of populations, while minimizing the risk for treatment-related adverse events.




Improving Quality of Life for Patients With Shift Work Disorder


These educational activities, plus the Tool/Care Kit, feature information about strategies for identifying, diagnosing, and managing patients with shift work disorder and improving patient quality of life.







Ethnocentric Approaches to Treating Chronic Pain: A Case Clinic Series


This 3-case series focuses on chronic pain among patients of different ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic backgrounds and how health disparities, cultural beliefs, and customs may affect how patients explain their ailments and respond to medical treatment. A clinician's consideration of multiple therapies—including complementary and alternative medicine—may engender greater patient trust and provide them with more satisfactory relief from their chronic pain.




Breast Cancer Interactive Cases

This case-based interactive activity will delve into 2 separate cases of women (1 case per program) with metastatic breast cancer to discuss specific challenges and solutions related to the effective management of this disease. The presentations include expert audio commentary and rationale behind the decisions made in the course of care for these patients.



PEDIATRIC NUTRITION AND LONG-TERM HEALTH: EXPLORING THE CRITICAL LINK


While the American Academy of Pediatrics strongly recommends that all infants be breast-fed until they are at least 12 months old, the majority receive formula by the age of 6 months. This series will explore the most recent recommendations and evidence-based data on the available nutritional options for these infants.






Dialogues on Diabetes and Dyslipidemia


Many individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are overweight and have an increased prevalence of dyslipidemia, which significantly increases their risk for cardiovascular disease. The cases in this series illustrate the challenges of managing patients with both T2DM and dyslipidemia.






The Vaccine Visit: A Strategic Opportunity to Share the Discussion of Immunizations, Sexual Health, and HPV



Adolescent vaccine visits serve as a "teachable moment" for health care providers to offer guidance about safe sex and other risky behaviors but, too often, the opportunity is missed. In this video series, the expert faculty explores common pitfalls of the three adolescent immunization platforms in early, middle, and late adolescence and offers practical strategies for communicating more effectively with young people and their parents to ensure completion of the full adolescent immunization schedule recommended by the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices.




Keeping Hypertension in Check:
A Case Clinic Series


Hypertension can often be symptomless, so many who have it are unaware of the disease. This series explores the different presentations of hypertension across the lifespan and discusses practical management strategies to avert further cardiovascular sequelae.






Revising the HIV Algorithm: Translating Advances to Practice

While HIV/AIDS treatment innovations continue to emerge at a brisk rate, a number of clinical challenges persist. Chief among these are selection of an initial regimen that ensures optimal efficacy while minimizing the potential for adverse events and the development of viral resistance; individualizing therapy for all patients, including those with common comorbidities; and utilizing treatment and patient-centered approaches to improve adherence. Using a case-based format, this educational activity will address some of the ongoing challenges in HIV care and will demonstrate how the latest evidence should be applied to practice.



Mitigating the Risks of Glucocorticoid-Induced Osteoporosis (GIO): A Primary Care Case Vignette Series

Glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIO) is the leading cause of secondary osteoporosis, yet is highly preventable. The 3 cases in this series will highlight the deleterious effects of glucocoricoid therapy and encourage clinicians to inquire about patients' anti-inflammatory medications, provide bone mineral density screening, and initiate regimens to ameliorate bone loss and fractures.




Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenges in Hereditary Angioedema: A Case Clinic Series for Allergists/Immunologists

This CME series will utilize 3 challenging case studies to illustrate how the most recent evidence-based data can be incorporated into the management of HAE in a variety of patient populations. As a result of participating in this activity, clinicians who treat HAE will be better prepared to make optimal treatment decisions in collaboration with their patients.







Hereditary Angioedema: Diagnosis and Therapeutic Decisions in Primary Care

This series of 3 complex case studies, each featuring a different patient with confirmed or suspected HAE, will help primary care clinicians improve their ability to diagnose and treat this rare but potentially life-threatening disorder.
